Now you have charming tales that will enthrall young audiences. The perfect Storytime book series for both boys and girls ages 6-10 Grades: 1-5. 'I liked this book because of the educational theme, too. Jonny's philanthropic mission speaks about the human angle. It's important to have children's story books with a strong theme. Also, children are highly imaginative and they always think outside the box. These types of stories also aid in developing their imagination and thought.' --Mamta 'I read this on holiday, whilst lazing around the pool and finished it in three sittings. Uplifting, with funny, imaginative characters. Jonny is the sweetest little boy and all the while, you lose yourself in his magical world - and I'm a grown-up - well sort of!' --Linda 'I laughed and cried with Jonny and my young nephew and niece just adored him and all his wonderful friends! Written with verve and obvious empathy by Kim Wheeler, who quite clearly still has the heart of a child..... Thank goodness this is the first of a series - can't wait to read the next one!' --Jessica Meyer, Editor
